The art seem so nice and pretty good :D but I really don't understand what should I do or which keys do I press to play :c

It's a really great concept, but I might have broken it. I got to wave 5 by spamming buy chicks and machine gun chicks (currently at 186 pop and 700+ coins), the game has slowed down a lot (unplayable) and it wont move on to wave 6..

Guess it needs some optimization. Thanks for the feedback!

The art is really pretty, but the game needs better instructions for the player to know what to do.

like the art and music but have no idea how to play or what the goal might be. Also cant buy any other "chick" then the "machine gun"

Played on mac in safari- first play through I got to wave five- but I don't know how.

My chickens seemed invincible- and unable to fire their machine guns. The foxes seemed to eventually just die off- but I think they just disappeared.

Second play through and the it was the foxes turn-

I couldn't buy more chickens and assumed this was an end game scenario. The pixel graphics are absolutely gorgeous. Maybe the audio could help cue when to prepare for the next wave, and when the wave is coming? I love the super jump from the flowers- and kinda got worried about whether my machine gunners were stuck underneath- but the pathfinding was on point and they clustered around if I was patient.

Overall- great job. I never knew for sure if I was protecting the hen house or myself- I bet on the hen house- and I couldn't figure out when to prepare or when to fight. I think you have an amazing start to what could be a stellar arcade platformer /rts or tower defense mashup- Hope you continue on this and I can't wait to see more! Thanks for the game!
